Embrace Your Inner Fudd

Because of restrictions where I live, I had to get an m1 platform and decided to go with the M1A. Figured I’d shop the look and get a 1911A1, but happened upon the Rock Island Armory GI 1911 for less than 300 bucks.

Will I get a 9 mm pistol? Probably. But I learned to stop worrying and love my inner Fudd. You should too.

  • M1 carbine and 1911 owner here.

    You can like whatever you like.

    I made my 1911 slightly more modern with an underbarrel 1913 rail. So far I've put a bipod on it for giggles, and a light on it for low light shooting. But it usually stays empty to fit in my favorite holster.

    If I weren't afraid of damaging something I can't afford to get repaired, I'd strip the carbine down and do a thorough cleaning and lubrication, maybe restain the stock. It was my late grandfather's though, so I really don't want to damage it.

    10/10, good to see people training.

  • heads up, the 1911a1 isn't drop safe. be very careful about not having rounds in the chamber whenever possible.

    There are mods you can do to make it dropsafe though.

    happy plinking and stay safe out there!

  • I want an m1a, but they are basically banned in my state. Only the 6.5 creedmore is legal to own
